Women’s Climate Commons supports women in climate leadership positions to grow, revitalize, and increase their impact through facilitated events, proven tools, and women-led community.
Connect with a cohort of like-minded women
The core of Women’s Climate Commons is the Commons Cohort. This 6-month journey provides a facilitated space for you to learn new tools, explore your motivations for your work, and connect with other women going through a similar phase of career and life.
Grow your impact, plan your next step, or learn how to level up
Workshop your goals for your career with trusted facilitators and your peer cohort using proven tools for leadership development, goal articulation, and reaffirming your commitment to your vision.
Reset, renew, and recharge yourself
Deepen friendships or make new ones, enjoy dedicated time away from your job and family to focus on yourself, and learn strategies for managing the unique stressors of the climate field. We cannot give to the world if we do not give to ourselves first.
Sarah Diringer, Founder & Principal Consultant, Sarah Diringer Consulting
“WCC was immensely helpful for providing the dedicated time and structure to consider what I deeply want out of my career in climate and the environment. Through the cohort learning and conversations, I decided to change career paths and launch my own independent consulting business. The cohort helped me better understand my strengths, sketch out a business plan, and build a strong and supportive network of women working in climate. I am incredibly grateful to Dana and Nahal for facilitating such great learning and conversations, and I feel proud to be part of such a thoughtful and powerful group.”
Heidi Nutters, Principal Program Manager, San Francisco Estuary Partnership
“WCC came at a time when I was needing a cohort of inspiring women to support each other in navigating leadership. The WCC cohort and the organizers are all badasses. We are each other’s hype team, cheerleaders, coaches, and friends. The transition into leadership can be tricky, rocky, complex, and confusing. I am extremely grateful for the work of the WCC in meeting these challenges by providing concrete skill-building support. I have learned so much and gained skills and a network of women who 100% support each other. What a gift!”
Julia Kim, Partnerships Lead, Farallon Strategies
“WCC was just what I needed and more during a major transitional period in my career. Through this cohort experience, I found a safe and welcoming space to explore my path forward, connect with inspiring leaders, and deepen my commitment to the critical and rewarding (yet challenging) work of building climate equity and resilience. I’m honored to have been part of the inaugural cohort and know future cohorts will benefit greatly from the insights and connections gained through WCC!”
Allison Chan, Political Director, Save the Bay
“I joined WCC to develop my professional goals in a safe and nurturing space, but I came away from the experience with so much more. The most meaningful part of the experience for me was the rapport I developed with the other members of my cohort, and the insight and encouragement we shared with one another as women leading ambitious work on complex climate issues. Being a part of WCC pushed me to think about my professional growth in ways I never have. I’m so grateful to Nahal and Dana and all the women in my cohort!”
